LI UVJ Li ru PROVED THE MOST POWERFUL gasoline you can buy. New Flying A Super Extra is the only 100-octahe gasoline in the West. It's the motor fuel late model cars were designed to bum. What ever the age of your car, it will take off faster, run smoother, and have more reserve passing power with new Flying A. Remember, it takes high-octane gasoline to give a modem, high-compression engine full performance. And only Flying A is 100-octane gasoline. PROVED NEVER TO KNOCK ...even in the latest automobiles, because new Flying A Super Extra is over. 100-octane. Octane rating measures a fuel's resistance to knock. No gasoline of less than 100-octane can completely protect today's high-compression engines against damaging knock or ping. New Flying A Super Extra, with over 100-octane, can and does give you positive protection at all times, under all driving conditions. THE CLE A NEST-BURNING gasoline vou can buy. Most modern gasolines do not bum clean. They foul up carburetors, valves, spark plugs and rings.. .cause costly repairs. ..and rob you of new-car power too soon. Hoping to solve this problem, some refiners resort to "gimmick" additives. But new Flying A Super Extra is super-refined impurities are taken out in the refining process so they never reach your car. Without qualification new Flying A 100-octane is the cleanest-burning gasoline you can buy. crz i o " I ' . b3 Chmmb3 SMti iw TIDEWATER OIL COMPANY WHAT 100-OCTANE MEANS TO YOU: Q. What is octane? Octane rating is the accepted measurement of a gaso line's knock-free power. The higher the octane, the greater the power, performance and resistance to knock. Q. What is knock? Knock is the harsh, jarring noise you hear from the vibration of metal in your engine caused by low-octane gasoline that burns explosively, not smoothly. These violent explosions are a danger signal to you. If your en gine continues to knock, you can literally blow a hole in a piston. Q. Which cars need 100-octane gasoline? The later-model, higher-compression engines operate at peak performance with 100-octane gasoline. Lesser fuels simply aren't good enough to give full power and prevent all knock or ping. If you have a 1954 or older car, you will also be amazed to see what 100-octane will do for it! Q. What's the difference in power? As mentioned, the higher the octane, the greater the power... but at an accelerated rate. Laboratory and road tests using various types of engines have firmly established that 100-octane gives 11 to 43 greater power performance than ordinary gasolines. Q. Who sets the standards for measuring octane? The American Society of Testing Materials. These standards are recognized and used by the entire petro leum and automotive industries. Q. What about mileage? When gasoline burns smoothly there is a continuous push against the piston. But when unburnt fuel explodes with a "knock," the piston stroke is robbed of impetus causing a major waste of gasoline. Because it burns smoothly and completely, 100-octane assures by far the greatest mileage under all performance conditions.
